Assalam-O-Alaikum!

Greetings dear readers. I hope you are having a pleasant and positive day. I am happy to participate in the contest organized by @okere-blessing ma’am. I appreciate this wonderful opportunity. Wishing everyone great success and abundant blessings.

Self control means controlling your emotions, desires and behavior. That is even when a person is in a state of anger, fear, or making decisions in a hurry. He should take care of himself and act thoughtfully. It is very important in human life. It protects us from wrong decisions and harm.
Examples of self control in everyday life are very simple. Like when you get angry, don't say bad things to someone immediately. When a temptation arises like junk food or unnecessary spending. Then stop yourself. Being patient in difficult situations and not reacting in haste is also self control.
Self control strengthens a person's personality. It improves relationships and paves the way for success in life. In simple words self control means being in control of yourself and making conscious decisions in all situations.

You can recognize someone who has self control by their behavior and habits. Such a person controls his emotions and does not react immediately when he gets angry. He thinks with patience. He is patient even in difficult situations and avoids haste.
Such people also keep their desires under control such as avoiding wasteful spending or bad habits. They do everything thoughtfully. They do not make decisions based on emotions. Also they treat others well and show gentleness and tolerance in communication.
A person with self control is responsible, sensible and balanced. The one who keeps himself under control in all situations.

Self control is neither entirely innate nor solely learned. It is a combination of both. To some extent human beings are born with the ability to control themselves. For example some children are naturally more patient and calm. Well guys the others are quick to anger or react. This difference is mostly due to brain structure and genetic factors.
However research has also shown that self control can be learned and improved. Parents, teachers and environment have a profound influence on a person's habits and behavior. The famous "Marshmallow Test" also found that children who learn to wait are more successful in life.
Therefore the foundation of self control is innate. Well it can be strengthened through learning and practice.

For me I can control myself quite well in difficult situations and temptations. When I feel angry or want to do something immediately. I stop and think. Then make a decision. I know that rash decisions are often harmful. So I always exercise patience and restraint.
I have also practiced self control in my daily life. I avoid wasteful spending, unnecessary discussion or haste. I take patience and courage in difficult times.
Sometimes I fail but I constantly strive to improve myself. With confidence that I am becoming a stronger and more in control person every day.
